Rather than going back the way we came, to the autoroute, which took us to Carcassonne from Fraisse in an hour, we opted for a drive back through the Roussillon plain and into Corbieres. The weather got better and the drive became more scenic. We were back to Fraisse shortly after 1700 and after viewing pictures from both my and Dennis’ camera, we set out to prepare a gastronomic delight. In a restaurant, the menu would be described thusly: Canard avec sauce morilles, pate, legumes grilles et figues rotie. The accompanying wines were of course Blanquette de Limoux, but also a delightful Cote Rotie picked up on our way south. Not too shabby for such a remote location!
